Cam, springs, push rods are the main things. Depending on mileage, a LS2 timing chain. Crank bolt, water pump and timing cover gasket.

 

Right, and a pulley puller, thing from autozone to hold the lifters up with air. Swap seems pretty straight forward from what I have read. only probable m is Im not installing the motor, wether its rebuilt or new/used one.

Our mechanic/family friend is. So if I can get dad to agree on a cam its going in!
